Fighting for Strategic Solutions to End Obamacare

Randy Forbes, Mar 21 2010, minutes after voting against Obamacare:

"As much as party leaders in Washington have tried to make this decision about being Democrat or being Republican, this is not about partisan politics. It's about simple truths. And the simple truth is that you cannot take $500 billion out of a Medicare program that will be bankrupt by 2017 and not hurt our seniors. You can't ask the government to pay for a program that costs nearly one trillion dollars and not expect higher taxes, bigger deficits, and greater debt. You can't give Washington bureaucrats more power over our citizens’ health and expect higher quality service. And you can't place mandates on our employers and citizens and not expect jobs and family budgets to hurt as a result."

The Obamacare bill was 2,801 pages with $1 trillion in new taxes that is now resulting in health insurance cost increases and hiring reductions. Citizens and their physicians should have authority over health care decisions, not bureaucrats. It is time to shut Obamacare down.
